The old proverb says, If you want a thing well done, do it yourself ; but we say if you want a thing well done, give it to Foyd and depend upon its being done. We strike an- other musical note in the class of ' 23 when we come to Foyd. Surely we are blessed in having her. Foyd has an intelligence intensely alive — she has deter- mination, endurance, and a keen sense of humor. We feel sure that since it is her delightful task to rear the tender thought and to teach the young idea to shoot, she will also win her way to the hearts of all her pupils. MINNIE DUNNING Woodland, North Carolina Bachelor of Science For she is jes ' the quid kind Whose naturs never vary, Like streams that keep it summer mind Snmvbid in January.

Sugar and spice and c ' vything nice. This is certainly true in Minnie ' s case. She is sweet and gentle, calm and deliberate about everything she under- takes. It seems hardly neces- sary to add that in the end, her undertakings are always suc- cessful. She is very domestic, neat, and accurate, so Minnie always stars when there is anything like a home economics exhibit on hand. Her highest ambition is to have order in the building during study hours. Her favorite pastime is sew- ing, and her pet expression, Girls, study hour bell has rung.

Marie is distinguished liy a a thorough-going, ardent, and sincere earnestness. When she has charge of a program she demonstrates this by present- ing new and original ideas. She is sympathetic, gentle and kind. She is a loyal and true friend, always ready to show the educated heart to any- one who needs help. But good- ness, how girls on the fourth floor have to watch their step, for Marie has eyes everywhere and permits no deviation from the straight and narrow path. !

There is so much to be said about Buzzie that it is hard to know where to begin. She is just as good as she is pretty. Tliough reseryed in manner, her modesty adds to her charm. Her singing deserves a chapter to itself. Bessie ' s is no ordinary voice, but one characterized by a soothing, haunting sweetness. Withal she is a good sport. We predict that her ambition, her sincerity, and her high ideals in life will be the means of her attaining success in Cincinnati and later in the musical world.

This is really our dear old red-headed Emma — watch her eyes flash as that hideous word red is applied to her soft, wavy golden hair! But whatever the color, isn ' t it a crowning glory as it sparkles in the sunlight vieing in radiance the cunning smile beneath it? It seems strange that such a pleasing bit of humanity has never confessed herself crazy about the boys ; but, if you change the numlier of the noun and look deep into her two eyes, she hangs her little head as demurely as did the Priscilla of another John long ago. We know! We love Emma Rid- dick for her dependability, whole heartedness, and enthusiasm ; and we shall always remember with peculiar satisfaction the thrills we have felt as we sat with mouths dropped open, enraptured by her indepen- dent lays.

Do you know her? Don ' t you love her? The elements are so mixed in Genevieve that all nature might stand up and say, This is a woman. Born with the initiative of a leader, she possesses the rare ability of following well. By nature she is artistic and temperamental, yet practical and business like when occasion demands. She does not court popularity — it is hers without soliciting. Above all, she is a friend to her friends.

We ' d like to begin with O rare Red Turnley, for her ad- mirable qualities mount toward the skies. But, after all, it isn ' t her unusual ability as president or editor-in-chief or the flock of A ' s to her credit in the college register that in- fluenced us to vote her the most popular girl in Chowan. Red, the faithful and loyal friend; Red, the sweet character that lights up unsuspected depths; Red, the heart and spirit of all the fun and good times of the college, who as an agile Sopho- more climbed the dizzy heights to smear paint on our buildings and who later in spite of Senior dignity could not suppress her excessive fondness for fried liver during study hour — that is the Red we ' ll remember longest and love the most. Vvowary JUNIORS 23 None can excel Mary Henry in crushing; Mademoiselle! Just that will set her to blushing! In cooking class she ' s among he best; Shall I, or not, tell you the rest? Forever complainin ' Is Nan ' s one ailin ' ; Her life is all sorrows and woes; But a loafer she ain ' t. Tho ' her plea is. I can ' t, As hard after work she goes. Enjoy her giggles while you may For gay times fast are flying ; And this very Christie who giggles today Tomorrow may be crying. There ' s nothing more bewitching, Mary Babb, Than you so neatly switching While you gab. Now that on gay times you settle, Mary Babb, ' Tis not our wish to meddle Or keep tab.

The success of this department of our college life depends upon each member of our Circle to create an atmosphere of encouragement and hopefulness. Realizing that the chief aim of all Christian education is service, our Y. V. A. endeavors to enlist for life service all the girls in college. Our Y. W. A. influences the other religious activ-ities in college. It is responsible for our Evening Watch, and in a large measure has moulded the ideals of Christian Stewardship. We have given much time to Mission Study, having twelve Mission Study classes during the year. Over one-hundred and si.xty seals were awarded us during the year. We paid the expenses of our President to the State Meeting of the W. M. U. last year. Thanksgiving Reception, the largest social function of the vear, is under the auspices of the Y. W. A. Mrs. P. S.

The Student Council searched through Century Readings in English Literature for Thanatopsis to be given to a student to memorize. The water dripped From the dishes ' eyes; The cabbage hung his head; There was a sad old time In the kitchen that night For the vinegar ' s mother was dead. Summer ' s end, and school ' s begin And one clear call for me ! And may there be no zeros on my card, When I again am free. But such a stirring bunch of A ' s and B ' s Seen written strikes me dumb ; When I who come with shaking knees Return again home. Lectures and chapel text. Through toilsome hours we pass I But may there be no dreading of the next. When we ' re on class. For though the Dean may let us leave this place When she ' s compelled. We still must see our parents face to face, If we ' re expelled. Beryl Souter. Annie Dozier (explaining the building to parents) — There is nothing on the fifth floor excei t the conser atory. (observatory) Janice Ballentine — If Thanksgiving comes on Friday, and we get a holiday, I am going home for the week-end. Maude Allen Haithcock — Emma Riddick, how much will your pictures cost? Emma Riddick — I don ' t know, I ha ' en ' t got the price list from Pender ' s yet. 82 Mr. Vann Every day must President Vann Preach to the girls about that man, To save the student body ' s life They can ' t understand how he got his wife. He NEVER went to see the girls, He never wrote a letter. Now the girls all want to know ' How in the world did he getter. Miss McDowell Freshies tremble and shake and quake When from Miss McDowell a lesson they take; But girls who ' ve had her for more than a year. Look forward to lessons and say she ' s a dear. eB Mrs. Vann Our Dean of Women, Mrs. P. S. Vann, Advises the poor girls all she can; In social sciences she does excel. But she talks and raves and never hears the bell. Miss Meroney Miss Meroney, who has bobbed hair. Walks around like a millionaire; She tucks it up for dignity ' s sake And then makes her English students (piakc Some folks say she ' s mighty highbrow, But I ' ll tell you here and now; Wlien asked to ])lay a tennis set She ' ll always answer, Yes, you bet. Miss Gunn Mademoiselle Giinn is quite Frenchy, She ' s been to Brest and gay Paris. The poems young Frenchmen have written to her. Make all the students stop and wonder. Miss Robinson There was a bug teacher, yes thanky, Who in bug lab was quite cranky, But outside of class Was a jolly good lass And was quite inclined to be lanky. Miss Caldwell Miss Caldwell with so many crushes, From one class to another rushes; Smiling mildly, yet crying wildly. Where, oh where, is Beryl, my childy? Miss Dame Miss Dame, a teacher of ED , Thinks out questions all night in bed. She ' s up at dawn Strolling the lawn And of her the girls are afraid. Miss Latham Mi.ss Latham, the one with tiie dimple, Taught voice in a way very simple; When her pupils they sang On the piano she ' d bang To cover their faults from the people. Miss Brett Our faculty baby — Miss Brett Hasn ' t had to study yet — Her ideas spring Minerva like But sometimes Yhen stubborn she goes on a strike. Miss Norman Tliere was a young teaclier Who most every night. Burned the midnight oil, Writing to Phil White. He ' s a yoimg preacher in Kentucky, you know Where Miss Norman is soon ' ery sure to g Mrs. Turnley A characteristic pose of Mrs. Turnley ' s Is standing with the bell. If it isn ' t rung on the minute, You ' re sure to hear her yell. Miss Booth Miss Booth teaches History of Art, And from her classes we ' re glad to depart; She ' s a body-guard of the Freshman class And helps each Freshy a Soph to pass. Miss Sarah White If you play things soft and slow, Miss White will raving go. She hits the keys with a bang! Whiz! Zip! And sometimes forty ' leven ' keys she ' ll skip. Miss Knott Miss Sara Gertrude EXPRESSION Knott In her ways seems quite sot. She gets up a play in two hours or less And gives the poor seniors not a minute to rest. : Miss Fannie White Miss Fannie White is surely a case In Home Economics she ' s a good old ace. She wears spider-web hose and nifty cl othes, And to match all this she has an aristocratic nose. Miss Lane Our little Fiddler Miss C ' a ' line Lane, Since coming to ( howan has won her fame.

Chaucer Whan that September with his colors sweets A last sy faire brought our school to meete She joyed her much to take pleasant walks And linger long and oft for pleasant talkes ; But nihil in multis the weese scholars saye; Who takes hir goods must always full price paye ; So thise maid who wasted many an houre ; Did find salt tears from hir even shoure. 2. Shakespeare Is this a failure that I see before me?
